hey Kay.....my IM is betsyb4165....orginal right??
Anyway if you go tback and read my post you will see how i have broken down my feelings of the school.
Someone responded to my post and compared it to being molested.....don't ask...I don't get it either.
I do remember Jessica. I knew who you were talking about the min I read your post. I did think damn it didn't work for her.
But i didn't know it wasn't an issue till after.
I don't want to make it seem that im anorexic or bulimic or really "into my food". I now do little things that I never did till after MMS. For example it wasn't thill this past year that I finally focused on slowing down my eating...we had only so much time. You know I think my "issues" are typically normal for society but its the little things that I notice...does every one count calories or think thats a good food or a bad one??
Youre right...I am conflicted. I see and can validate many points people make but Honestly Kat....I grew up at MMS. Some may thik that sad but, what can i say. I went a very very young 13 year old(I had just turned 13 before I was sent to wilderness) and left and more older, emotionally more mature than most 16 year old. I am now 24. Not to young but young.
there are specific times and examples that I would like to talk about in private...but those were times i did question the school and few times i even thought "what would my parents think".
I do remember Donna and I do love that lady and feel sorry for the things that occured to her and her husband. I do remember work crew due to her and even another staff with a white glove.
I don't blame the "secondary" staff for the things they did and many came and left due to their disagreement of the treatment of us girls.
I still remember our daily schedule, and every day meals like it was yesterday.  
I know every generation says that their time was harder than others...and maybe it was cause I had  3yrs of it....but damn my time was hard.
Anyway kat...IM me I should be on tomorrow for awhile and we can chat.
Talk to you soon

zoeee:
i just recently encountered this site and at first i was so eager to read everything everyone had wrote even the people who went there like 10 years ago. i guess i was just so curious because since graduating two years ago this was the first time i could hear others thoughts and feelings about mms from many different perspectives. These forums have been succesful in that was for me... but i have to say that ihave just been dissapointed more and more each time i catch up because all the arguing.

I actually dont even consider it arguing.... more like debating. debating about our personal opinions, feelings, and thoughts on what we experienced at mms... over a period of like... 15 or so years. And it has been so hard for me to not respond to so many things that i thought differently of or was offended by...but now i am glad that i did not cuz i probably would have ended up replying as anonymous.... which seems to be the latest trend.

I have so many things to say about mms that i dare not start because id be typing all night long and probably end up offending someone myself... ha ha. But if anyone wants just to talk not about the effectiveness of the school... please keep me in mind. I know that i have been overlooked or forgotten by girls that i truly thought valued my love and friendship because of what they had heard or been told throught the grapevine that i was 'unhealthy'. yet none of them ever bothered to contact me or acknowledge my attempts to contact them. It still upsets me a lot and that has nothing to do with the school. but now a lot of people have been falsely informed about my struggles and what i have chosen... or not chosen to do with my life. I just don't think its fair, but mostly just sad that i don't mean as much to them as they did to me, or so it appears.

anyways... the reason i decided to write in the first place was because i saw my my name writtien by someon uhh....

"finally these places may be held publicly accountable for what they promote. At least filter out the kids who have the potential to become 'the disgruntled ones' that can post all over the internet and 'bash' them- like Zoe had mentioned, we are a disgrunted few."

are you talking about me or staff zoe... there can't be too many more zoe's huh? i hope i find out.... :grin: it sucks that everyone is anonymous but whatever ...

oh i just wanted to say that some of you guys are hella fuckin mean to one another, now i know im not known to be the sweetest of them all but damn dude.

and also , i hope i don't sound like condescending or like im an mms supporter and/or preacher... because most things i have to say about mms would  get a few of you riled up (im sure) and ultimately defeat the purpose of my saying it to begin with.  I bet it would feel good to do though... ha.

So... yeah im sick of writing but im gonna go to the reunion and anticipate much amusement... and if anyone wants to know what it was like id be glad to fill u in. even anonymous..... he he. it should be fun.....

so to the anonymous's that know me... whats up...
i hope everything is good with everyone that reads this... and.... im always here to listen and talk to.

katfish:
hi zoe,

please share!  even if not about effectiveness, i'm sure you have some good points to make.

also, i understand there is a zoe staffer, presumably that's the reference made?

kat

ps- i wonder why you say you would have to post annonymously?  yes, that is the trend and if anyone has an answer as to why i would like be curious to hear it.[ This Message was edited by: katfish on 2005-08-12 14:43 ]
